The article has been amended to reflect the following changes to Jackie Doig's comments:

She said the emphasis should be on compliance with the Jobs, Education & Training (JET) program rather than on increased penalties and time limits.

It eliminates many of the safeguards that have been in place to make sure families do not inapropriately lose out on assistance when they have good cause for not complying with JET or have barriers that need to be addressed.

As for the the educational credentials of the Fire Marshal, we did not feel they were relevant to the story. However, if you have some information you would like to share, you can email me at bjohnson@thesaginawnews.com.

Thank you for reading.

Thanks for pointing that out CMW. I didn't realize the photo was not from that rally. I have since changed the photo to one from that rally.
No I did not use the photo to make the rally seem larger than it actually was. The attendance for this particular protest was 150 people at any given time.
No I did not write that 'We Are One' rallies took place in other countries. I did mention that it was part of a state-wide event. I mentioned that because everyone interviewed only mentioned the state-wide efforts as the reason they attended.
Thank you again for pointing out the photo and thanks for reading.
